I Am A Biologist By Day And A Felt Artist On My Free Time

In 2007 I made my first stuffed animal, a red horse, out of red polyester craft felt from my own pattern. I have been making animals ever since, and I've created cats, dragons, rabbits, and seahorses as well.

Today, my animals are made from high-quality wool felt and embroidered with wool and cotton threads. I am a biologist by day (I work with marine algae), and my animal designs are often inspired by the natural world, particularly my seahorses. I also take pride in the unique poses I've developed, particularly my prancing horses, and I love bringing each unique creation to life!

I had completely forgotten ,until I saw these.That my Mum used to make me little felt toys,very similar to these over 40 years ago.I remember a black and light pink donkey with a ring of felt flowers around his neck and flowers embroidered on his bottom.Little embroidered rabbits,a ginger and white cat,a pink pig w/ flower crown (my fave) and even Mr and Mrs Humpty-Dumpty lol When I had my first daughter 25 yrs ago,I made her "little friends"too ,lie a mobile w/ mermaid,fish ,octopus,seahorse,jellyfish etc.Thank you for rekindling the memories for me :)
